Introduction
This family of documents comprised of the ISO 16321 series, the ISO 18526 series and the ISO 18527 series
was developed in response to the worldwide stakeholders’ demand for minimum requirements and test
methods for eye and face protectors traded internationally. ISO 4007 gives the terms and definitions
for all the various product types. The test methods are given in the ISO 18526 series, while the
requirements for occupational eye and face protectors are given in the ISO 16321 series. Eye protection
for specific sports are mostly dealt with by the ISO 18527 series. A guidance document, ISO 19734, for
the selection, use and maintenance of eye and face protectors is under preparation.

Introduction
This family of documents was developed in response to the worldwide stakeholder's demand for
minimum requirements and test methods for eye and face protectors traded internationally. ISO 4007
gives the terms and definitions for all the various product types. The test methods are in the ISO 18526-
series, while the requirements for occupational eye and face protectors are in the ISO 16321- series. Eye
protection for specific sports is mostly dealt with by the ISO 18527- series. A guidance document for the
selection, use and maintenance of eye and face protectors is in preparation.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document the terms and the definitions given in ISO 4007 apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .prg/
— ISO online browsing platform: available at http:// www .iso .org/ obp
For the purposes of this document, “eye protector” shall be taken to mean eye protectors for Squash,
Racquetball and Squash 57.
4 General requirements for eye protectors
4.1 Headforms for testing
Unless the manufacturer defines the applicable headforms according to ISO 18526-4 to be compatible
with the eye protector, the test methods where headforms are required shall use the headform 1-M
according to ISO 18526-4 as the default.
4.2 Construction
Areas of the eye protectors that may, during intended use, come into contact with the wearer shall be
smooth, without sharp protuberances that may cause discomfort or injury to the wearer. This shall be
tested by physical inspection in accordance with ISO 18526-3, 6.1.
4.3 Lens material and surface quality
In an area 30 mm diameter centred on the reference point, but excluding a marginal area 5 mm wide
around the edge of the lens if this overlaps with the circular area, lenses shall have no material or
machining defects that may impair vision, e.g. bubbles, scratches, inclusions, dull spots, pitting, mould
marks, notches, reinforced areas, specks, beads, water specks, pocking, gas inclusions, splintering,
cracks, polishing defects or undulations. Outside this zone, small isolated material and/or surface defects
may be acceptable. This shall be tested by visual assessment in accordance with ISO 18526-3, 6.6.
4.4 Physiological compatibility
Eye protectors shall be designed and manufactured in such a way that when used under the conditions
and for the purposes intended, they will not compromise the health or safety of the wearer. The risks
posed by substances leaking or evaporating from the eye protector that can come into prolonged contact
with the wearer shall be reduced by the manufacturer to within the limits of any existing regulatory
limit. Special attention shall be given to substances that are allergenic, carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic
to reproduction.
NOTE 1 Excessive pressure due to a poor fit on the face, chemical irritation or allergy is known to produce
reactions. Rare or idiosyncratic reactions to any material are known to occur and the individual wearer is well
advised to avoid those types of frame materials.

NOTE 2 Specific national regulations with regard to restriction of certain chemical substances should be
observed, for example release of nickel in Europe.
4.5 Retention by headband and harnesses (Sit and fit)
Eye protectors shall sit in the intended position during normal use and shall adapt to the contours of
the face. The surfaces in contact with the face shall be made of soft flexible material. Any head strap
shall be designed to be flexible or adjustable and sit securely on the back of the head. Any head strap
assembly shall not cause any discomfort nor exhibit any insecurity when tested in accordance with
ISO 18526-3, 6.5.
5 Transmittance
5.1 Test methods
Transmittance values shall be determined in accordance with ISO 18526-2, Clause 6 to 11 as appropriate.
Luminous transmittance shall be calculated using CIE Standard Illuminant D65 (ISO 4007:2018,
3.9.1.31).
5.2 Transmittance categories
Depending upon their luminous transmittance at their reference point and at (23 ± 1) °C in the case
of temperature sensitive transmittance, lenses for Squash, Racquetball and Squash 57 use shall be
attributed to one of the five tint categories in Table 1.
The range of the luminous transmittance of these five categories is given by the values in Table 1. An
overlap of the transmittance values shall be not more than ±2 % (absolute) between the categories 0, 1,
2 and 3. There is no overlap in transmittance values between categories 3 and 4.
If the supplier declares a luminous transmittance value, the maximum deviation for this value shall be
±3 % absolute for the transmittance values falling in categories 0 to 3 and ±30 % relative to the stated
value for the transmittance values falling in category 4.
When describing the transmittance properties of lenses with changeable tint, e.g. photochromic, two
categories for transmittance values are generally used. These two values correspond to the highest
transmittance state and to the lowest transmittance state of the lens.
Table 1 specifies also the UV requirements for Squash, Racquetball and Squash 57 eye protectors.

NOTE  Some national requirements may stipulate a different requirement for long wavelength limit of UV-A.
5.3 General transmittance requirements
5.3.1 Uniformity of luminous transmittance and transmittance matching
Lenses that are intended to be uniformly tinted shall appear to be visually uniform within a circle 30
mm in diameter around the reference points or to the edge of the lens less the marginal zone 5 mm
wide, whichever is greater,and appear to have the same transmittance at the two reference points
when inspected against a white background in accordance with ISO 18526-3, 6.6. Where there is visible
non-uniformity, then, when tested according to ISO 18526-2, 7.4, the relative difference in the luminous
transmittance value between any two points of the lens shall not be greater than 15 % (relative to the
higher value), except for tint category SR4 where it shall not be greater than 20 %.
Where there are visibly mismatched transmittances at the reference points, when measured in
accordance with ISO 18526-2, 7.5, the difference in luminous transmittance values at the reference
points for the right and left eyes shall not exceed 15 % (relative to the higher transmittance).
5.3.2 Variations due to thickness variations
Changes of luminous transmittance that are caused by thickness variations due to the design of the lens
are permitted. For verification, the test method in ISO 18526-2, 7.4.1.4 shall be used.
5.4 Special transmittance requirements
5.4.1 Photochromic lenses
Photochromic lenses shall meet the transmittance requirements of ISO 12312-1:2013, 5.3.4.1.
5.4.2 Polarizing lenses
Polarising lenses shall meet the transmittance requirements of ISO 12312-1:2013, 5.3.4.2.
5.4.3 Gradient-tinted lenses
NOTE No provision is made for gradient-tint lenses because they are not appropriate for Squash, Racquetball
and Squash 57.
